HealthBeacon PLC - HealthBeacon announces Supply Chain Deal

HealthBeacon and Hamilton Beach Brands Inc. expand partnership to include the management of HealthBeacon's USA supply chain.

16^th June 2023: HealthBeacon and Hamilton Beach have expanded their partnership to include the management of HealthBeacon's supply chain for its Smart Sharps Bin Technology for the USA. This expanded partnership will allow HealthBeacon to leverage Hamilton Beach's supply chain, distribution and procurement capabilities to produce and distribute its connected health devices into homes across the USA.  

HealthBeacon has been successful over the last year in acquiring clients including large US Specialty Pharmacies, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Clinical Groups and will be rapidly scaling its US business over the next 12 months.

This expanded agreement will reduce the cost of supply and distribution for HealthBeacon's technology, prepare the organization for scale, support positive working capital movement and accelerate the company's path to profitability. 

In 2021, HealthBeacon and Hamilton Beach entered their strategic partnership to provide a smart Injection Care Management System in the USA. The collaboration is part of Hamilton Beach's strategy to expand its focus on the large and fast-growing home health and wellness market and build its Hamilton Beach Health brand. Hamilton Beach has been a leading provider of small appliances for more than 100 years and the Hamilton Beach brand is one of the most recognized and trusted brands in North America.

HealthBeacon's Smart Sharp Bin is the leading injection adherence device for patients that self-administer medications in the home setting. Over 10 million Americans depend on medication delivered by injection in the home to treat chronic conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, Diabetes, Severe Asthma, Rare Disorders and Obesity. HealthBeacon is on track to launch its technology through Specialty Pharmacy with a major global injectable brand and this expanded deal with Hamilton Beach will support the scaling of its offering across the USA.
